Not Ranked
Thanks guys for all your input and ideas. I believe from what I have read and the way it feels that at this point my guess is that it could be a brake pad or something in the brakes that's causing the problem. Thanks for that suggestion. That along with your other points will be checked for sure and I'll post here what I find.
Later EDITED- I just got back from taking my BDR into the shop and we figured out what the problem was. The BRAKE BOOSTER is leaking BIG time! When it decelerated it would cause a huge vacuum draw which due to the leaking caused the brakes to pulsate, and is actually activating the brakes. To a point with each vacuum draw the brakes lights are coming on. It's kinda like having a poor man's version of anti-lock electronic brakes that don't work right. Ha
Well at least it's an easy fix and nothing terribly serious. It could have happened anywhere, not just racing so I can put the blame on my racing activiities. The fact that the engine on deceleration from 6,000 rpm repeatedly probably didn't help it much but oh well!
Now I'm off to get a new brake booster!
Thanks again buddies!
"Doc"
